據美國Axios新聞網、英國廣播公司（BBC）報道，美國總統特朗普當地時間16日表示，可口可樂公司已同意在美國使用真正的蔗糖生產可樂。
US President Donald Trump says Coca-Cola has agreed to use real cane sugar in its drinks sold in the US.
特朗普16日在其社交平臺發文稱，他一直在與總部位於亞特蘭大的可口可樂公司就使用蔗糖事宜進行溝通，這一做法已在墨西哥版可樂中採用。“我要感謝可口可樂的所有高層。這將是他們非常正確的一步——你們會看到的，這樣更好！”他寫道。
"I have been speaking to Coca-Cola about using REAL Cane Sugar in Coke in the United States, and they have agreed to do so," Trump wrote on social media. "I'd like to thank all of those in authority at Coca-Cola."
Trump said in Wednesday's post on Truth Social: "This will be a very good move by them – You'll see. It's just better!"

報道稱，可口可樂目前在美國市場上所使用的甜味劑為玉米糖漿。至於是否會調整現有配方或推出新產品，目前尚無明確訊息。
該公司在給Axios新聞網的一份宣告中表示，“我們感謝特朗普總統對我們標誌性品牌可口可樂的熱情。我們將很快分享更多有關可口可樂產品系列中創新產品的細節。”
Without explicitly confirming the recipe tweak, a Coca-Cola spokesperson said they "appreciate President Trump's enthusiasm" and "more details on new innovative offerings within our Coca-Cola product range will be shared soon."
有趣的是，多家外媒此前曾報道，特朗普對健怡可樂情有獨鍾，甚至在白宮橢圓形辦公室特意安裝了一個“可樂按鈕”——只要按下它，工作人員便會送上一罐冰鎮的健怡可樂。
Trump is a regular drinker of Diet Coke — which uses the artificial sweetener aspartame. He had a button installed in the Oval Office's Resolute desk so he can be served the soda.

美國《華爾街日報》補充稱，美國玉米加工協會主席約翰·博德在週三表示，“用蔗糖取代高果糖玉米糖漿毫無意義。”他指出，這樣的做法不僅會導致美國食品製造業的就業崗位流失，還將衝擊農民的收入。
But any decision to use cane sugar instead might leave a bitter aftertaste for American corn farmers.
Corn Refiners Association President and CEO John Bode said in a statement: "Replacing high fructose corn syrup with cane sugar would cost thousands of American food manufacturing jobs, depress farm income, and boost imports of foreign sugar, all with no nutritional benefit."
一些食品科學家則表示，這兩種甜味劑在風味上存在細微差別：高果糖玉米糖漿的甜味峰值來得更早，有助於增強水果和香料的風味，而蔗糖的甜味則更為寬泛，且持續時間更長。
